About Calendar | Top

Calendar allows students, teaching assistants, and instructors to exchange information about class events quickly and effectively. Before you and your students can use Calendar, you must add it to your course. For more information, see Add Page or Tool.

Depending on the calendar settings chosen, both instructors and students can post public calendar entries (visible to everyone in the course) or private ones (visible only to the author). Entries can be written in simple text or HTML. Calendar entries may include links to course content or to external websites, notification of assignment due dates, changes to instructor office hours, or any other scheduling information you wish to record.

With the Calendar tool, you can:

add, edit, and delete entries
import entries
compile and download entries
clear the calendar
modify calendar settings

For users who are new to WebCT, we recommend that you use the Calendar Wizard. The wizard guides you, step-by-step, through the following tasks:

select a month to view
select a day to view
add a calendar entry

To access the wizard, click Use Calendar Wizard. For more information about wizards, see Course Design Center. Note: Depending on administrator settings, this feature may not be available to you.
